UPDATE: Slain Pastor

ANADARKO, Okla. (AP) A satellite truck operator for an Oklahoma City television station discovered a large knife at a car wash across the street from an Anadarko church where a pastor was viciously slain.

The KOCO-TV employee discovered the knife on Thursday and notified Anadarko police, who confiscated the weapon and took a statement from the operator.

Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation inspector Steve Neuman says the knife is being analyzed, but indicated it's unlikely to be the murder weapon. He says it appears the knife had been at that location for some time.

No arrests have been made in the Aug. 23 slaying of 61-year-old Carol Daniels, who suffered numerous gashes to her neck and chest and apparent stab wounds to her back and hands.
